Good Sailing Game
Zegfit3427!!

Great game--very good physics. I wish I could see the course beforehand and/or adjust the view. Need to know where I'm headed prior to the mark rounding.


Something to fix

It is fun, but sailing rules are wrong in this game.


Needs work

This game is really fun, but some of the penalties are messed up. I'll get penalized for hitting a port tack boat while on starboard tack. It also penalizes the leeward boat for hitting the windward boat, when the opposite should actually be the penalty. Also it's super annoying that the player always starts on port tack. I almost always hit the committee boat unless I turn up into the wind more than I want to. A 10-20 second start sequence would be a lot more fun and realistic!


Decent sailing game. Needs work.

Game is pretty good. Need ability to adjust competition level. Needs more than two courses. Need to change the direction of the wind from course to course. Need a knot speedometer.


Crashes all the time

It consistently crashes on certain boats. Furthermore, when it does work, you always start on a port tack with the committee boat in the way, thereby allowing the computer boat to win 9 times out of 10. The computer boat always starts on a starboard rack.

I was really excited when I came across a true sailing sim only to be let down by bad controls... How about a simple tiller? The physics are good but lack of precise control ruins it all. Give me a tiller or a wheel and I'll give it five stars...


Shame

It would be a better game if the steering was smoother! It's like trying to steer a Mack truck!!


Poor steering and navs
Captain Don 2

Good try but the steering function is painfully slow. Another problem is that you cannot see the marks. The guiding arrow does not appear until you get close to the mark so you are basically sailing blind. I tried following the competitor to learn the marks, but it is too tough to remember where they are in the next race. I would be happy to pay for a version with good steering, better mark indicators, and more than one competitor in the race.


Crash

The game keeps crashing every time I pick a team and I just got the NEW update.


Realistic

Wonderfully realistic. Just wish there could be a longer version...
